Damn it. I had a long post here and then somehow hit the back button....

Long story short, they dropped the charges against me because it came to light that I had a witness that swore I was not the one driving, in their police report it said the driver of my truck got out of my truck and got into another and left, and yet there were pictures of me in the police report sleeping/dead in my bed.

Problem is that the police released my truck to the tow company despite telling me that they were holding it until after the trial. They then sold my truck and are claiming I owe them for an amount they did not get from the auction to cover the rest of the impound fees. And the public utility is still coming after me to pay for the light post.

I've spoken to a few lawyers, but maybe I haven't searched hard enough as I have found none willing to take on a case against the police. I don't necessarily want to take a case up against the police but I would like my truck, which is gone, or at least some form of vehicle back. And I don't need these two companies taking me to collections over money they say I owe, despite I wasn't the one who hit the light post and it can't be proved it was my truck, since, the evidence has been sold. But now it's been so long since it happened I don't know if anything can even be done.

Ouch. Can they even do that? I mean sell your car while there is a trial?

They did. Legal or not, they release the truck and it was sold before there was even a trial. And then there was never a trial because they dropped the charges against me.

So....No charges but they impounded and sold your truck? That's a suing! Grab thyself a lawyer quick!

Yeah..sue the shit out of em.What the hell? If someone takes my stuff and sells it,that would be called theft.But it is ok if the police does it?
The Newspapers would have a fieldday here in Germany if something like that happened.
